You can't tell someone that sound doesn't take you to the 80s with a straight face

you should appreciate synthwave though, it's God tier

You haven't listened to either good vaporwave or refuse to admit the idea that it might not be for you.
Giorgio Moroder is synth wave now?
>>60808723
wasn't him one of the pioneers of the genre?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30hr7DyAuAY
Remember retrowave is the modern "flavor" of it, but synthwave has existed since the 80s
Nostalgic revivalist stuff is shit though.
>>60808575
nothing wrong with DX7s m9
>>60808859
fite me irl fgt
i was born in 92 and love the stuff
>>60808950
this, rhodes might be the best for some things, but artificial sounding stuff has its place too
>>60809121
no, it's crap
listen to the original stuff if you like it; the retro shit doesn't need to exist at all
>>60809470
>stop liking what i don't like
New stuff is great. You'd probably prefer that retrofuturistic cars like the Camaro and Mustang didn't exist either. What a pretentious faggot.
>>60809626
>I don't know what "pretentious" means
>>60809690
>i project
you're pretentious because you operate under the pretense that new synthwave is somewhat inferior to old synthwave or that it's just "more of the same". It's like saying modern hard rock bands shouldn't exist because the 80s and 90s were full of them and we can still listen to the old stuff if we want to.
>>60809800
But there was never enough depth to it to begin with to warrant endless exploration. It had a limited shelf life for a good reason. Additionally, it's only done now as an inauthentic retro fetishist kind of thing. That pretty much rules out any substantial new contribution or advancement; what defines it was already set in stone 30 years ago.
>>60809905
>it's only done now as an inauthentic retro fetishist kind of thing
>implying it isn't younger people that got exposed to it and loved the sound

I started listening to Lazerhawk, then I knew Carpenter Brut, and ended up loving Giallo films, watching Drive and playing Hotline Miami. I was always fond of the 80s synth sound though, from playing Vice City when I was younger and watching stuff like Miami Vice. Retrowave has been growing for years, specially in France.
>>60810097
While I do enjoy synthwave, it's really fucking hard to find the real good stuff.
Most artists are just trying to replicate the already known ones.
Thousands and thousands of "gritty cyberpunkish Perturbator-like" songs from artists who don't know shit about shit and shitting out albums every fucking month or even week.
I have yet to find an artist that takes inspiration from the likes of Jan Hammer or Vangelis.
>>60810242
nice one, faggot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0qBaBb1Y-U
>>60810270
are you for real? NewRetroWave churns out awesome stuff constantly.
Also Perturbator is great.
Try this for a more Hammer-esque style:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Og5ZEt-MKE
>>60810469
I didn't mean that Perturbator was bad. I love Perturbator.
It's just that I feel that most artists are just trying to rip-off everyone else that is well-known by going with the same hard-synth cyberpunk style.
There are other elements and styles of the 80s to explore other than the cyberpunk one.
>>60810627
>It's just that I feel that most artists are just trying to rip-off everyone else that is well-known by going with the same hard-synth cyberpunk style.

oh, I agree. Cyberpunk is one of the elements that are seen in retrowave and weren't seen often in old synthwave though.
But you're right, most stuff is "hard retrowave".
More "soft" stuff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXIEoERWewQ
>>60810737
refer to >>60805828
>>60810724
a large part of the stuff in the OP is soft stuff
>>60810724
Actually, I kinda spoke too early when I said I had yet to find something that was different
I've been listening to Duett for some time now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ewrYhY98Y8
This is the sort of stuff I'm looking for. Also, I've listened to Tommy's stuff before. It's great.
>>60810846
will give that a listen. I think there's plenty of soft stuff but most sounds like 80s synthpop (see sunglasses kid above) and it's great, but there's not a lot of Jan Hammer inspired stuff.
Check out this very SNES-style (although not 8-bit) piece of music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqbx8f8qIUY
I think it reminds me of some street fighter game or something like that.
>>60810846
great stuff. Turns out I had already been listening to it (had given likes to some comments lel)

I really hate the name retrowave, nothing about the artists you listed are really retro. Something like this is a better representation of the 80s.

DX7 is fucking rad kid, fite me irl.
>>60812196
I haven't, but I'm totally digging the intro

if they weren't retro they wouldn't have an 80s vibe to them. Nice quads tho.

my bad, I was listening to this and had the other video paused:

So what if there was more people doing drugs? At least they didn't have the degenerate sedentary lifestyle that's popular today. The US wasn't one of the fattest countries in the world. Being a slut was frowned upon.
